Chili's Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

You’ll love how it combines chicken, enchilada sauce, and masa harina to create a rich, hearty soup perfect for any day.
One trick I find invaluable is to let the flavors meld by simmering the soup for a bit longer; it really deepens the taste.
Using fresh garlic and the right spices elevates the dish and makes it a family favorite around my table!
